The last sentence of the abstract for “Football and Public Opinion: A Partial Replication and Extension” as published online in the Journal of Experimental Political Science on 8 November, 2017 contained the following error:

While the effects clearly can occur, there relevance to politics remains unclear.

It should have read as:

While the effects clearly can occur, their relevance to politics remains unclear.

Do events irrelevant to politics, such as the weather and sporting events, affect political opinions? A growing experimental literature suggests that such events can matter. However, extant experimental evidence may over-state irrelevant event effects; this could occur if these studies happen to focus on particular scenarios where irrelevant event effects are likely to occur. One way to address this possibility is through replication, which is what we do. Specifically, we replicate an experimental study that showed the outcome of a college football game can influence presidential approval. Our results partially replicate the previous study and suggest the impact is constrained to a limited set of outcome variables. The findings accentuate the need for scholars to identify the conditions under which irrelevant effects occur. While the effects clearly can occur, there relevance to politics remains unclear.
